I'd say no; I just don't trust the average person to do a sufficient job educating themselves, and I really don't trust the media to do an accurate job portraying the issues. I have a hard time thinking of an issue that should nationally be put to a referendum. Maybe something like senate or parliamentary reform, though neither of those would stand a chance of passing.
